VIDEO Teammate Van der Poel home after crash with inattentive spectators | cycling

On one of the cobblestone sections, a few fans watch a few riders who have just passed, not realizing that the next drivers are quickly approaching. As a result, Danny van Poppel and Daniel Oss collide with the fans. Oss, even seems to be able to stay on his feet for a while when he hits the man in the yellow shirt, but a meter later it goes wrong when he encounters a second spectator.

When he and Van Poppel are on the ground, the onrushing Michael Gogl can no longer avoid them. He also falls and suffers the heaviest consequences of the fall. Mathieu van der Poel’s Austrian teammate did not finish the stage. His team Alpecin-Deceuninck has now announced that he has broken his collarbone and pelvis.

Gogl was not the only one who had to give up the fight, Jack Haig is also no longer on course. The Australian, who had classification ambitions, was in the same crash as Primoz Roglic.
